Lyrics

Japanese

いつもそばにいてと思いを焦がしてみたり

空の彼方へ Fly to the OUT だから Free
超える想いは will catch you
いつか your soul can't be gripped still
私を見て

消えない思いが too fast to beat こどう
to the first to my heart 響く この気持ち押え込んで
限りある時の流れの中
それならThis feels大切にしたい

だけどまだあなたの心は
わたしには届きしない
一つだけ If I have hope to you から
ぬくもりが感じられたら

Romaji

itsumo soba ni ite to omoi wo kogashite mitari

sora no kanata e Fly to the OUT dakara Free
koeru omoi wa will catch you
itsu ka your soul can't be gripped still
watashi wo mite

kie nai omoi ga too fast to beat kodou
to the first to my heart hibiku kono kimochi osae kon de
kagiri aru toki no nagare no naka
sore nara This feels taisetsu ni shitai

dakedo mada anata no kokoro wa
watashi ni wa todoki shinai
hitotsu dake If I have hope to you ara
nukumori ga kanjiraretara

Song Production Information

D-crew

This song can be divided into four sections.
One in the first verse and pre-chorus, one in the chorus, one in the interlude-like rap part, and another in the final big chorus.
These four structures, with their own individuality, fit well and overlap together to form this song.
Actually, it seems simple, but a lot of thought was put in each part.
Therefore, when MAKOTO's clear voice was added, it was perfect.

MAKOTO

As the song title suggests, I hope I delivered a sad and fleeting "love" to everyone!
Since this song will surely heat you when playing it in a game, listening to it, or singing it, let's get excited together!!

Video Production Information

chihiro

Even though the lyrics are one-sided and sad, the song is very straightforward, strong, and filled with confidence, and I think you can feel the feminine power in MAKOTO's vocals.
That's why as a fan of movies with a self-proclaimed atmosphere, chihi was also inspired and immediately started to create exciting movies!
I'd like to introduce this movie by dividing it into four sections.
Firstly, the LOVE rabbit "Perori-kun". Super long eyelashes facing the sky and 360° curls are a perfect utopia for girls in love, as they don't need to perm their eyelashes. I'm always dreaming about eyes, I don't know whether its particularly my imagination or delusion when I was young, but there was a girl whose eyes actually looked like this.
And she was named by amamon.. This is also a key point.
There are four girls, and this first girl is Safari Girl! I decided on a theme and drew it, but even though it was safari, I ended up drawing polar bears and aurora, so after all, I expressed it as freedom and LOVE.
Also, I didn't forget about the generic movies!
The erotic girls behind Perori-kun made this LOVE atmosphere even more exciting, and I was hooked and surprised at how he prepared them for LOVE.
Therefore, when MAKOTO's clear voice was added, it was perfect~!
